The nine most insane excerpts from the latest column by the boss of the NRA
Pat Cunningham
HERE are paraphrases of the nine wackiest points made by National Rifle Association Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre in a column he wrote for the right-wing Daily Caller:
1. Violent Latino gangs are out to get you.
2. And they're streaming over the border.
3. And so is al-Qaeda.
4. And Obama will use them as an excuse to take your guns.
5. If you want gun safety, you want civilization to collapse.
6. Thanks to Obama, there will soon be no cops.
7. But the NRA is totally not paranoid.
8. It's just that the collapse of civilization is ...

Rebecca Onie on the Situation of Health (and Health Care)
Posted by The Situationist Staff on June 22, 2012
From TEDtalksDirector:
Rebecca Onie asks audacious questions: What if waiting rooms were a place to improve daily health care? What if doctors could prescribe food, housing and heat in the winter? At TEDMED she describes Health Leads, an organization that does just that — and does it by building a volunteer base as elite and dedicated as a college sports team.

Your thoughts on circumcision
CNN got more than 1,000 responses by noon to today's article about a proposal to ban circumcision in San Francisco, California.
To recap: anti-circumcision activist Lloyd Schofield has drawn up a proposal outlawing all circumcisions, even for religious reasons (circumcision of boys is traditional in Judaism and Islam). The punishment would be up to a year in jail or up to a $1000 fine.
Our reader comments, mostly passionate toward one view or another, have so far been fairly evenly split as a whole on the question of whether or not to circumcise.
Some of you men out there are glad to have been circumcised as infants, citing scientific evidence of its health benefits. Says jake1969:
Others agree with so-called "inactivists" that circumcision violates personal freedoms. Reader rcaferilla writes:
On the other hand, some of you oppose a ban on circumcision because that ban would violate personal freedoms. Says HooHa78:
To this line of thinking, blueparadise responds:
Some of you, such as blueparadise, are also concerned about a loss of sexual pleasure that may come with the loss of foreskin. This point is still controversial, and it's hard to test it because there can be no "before and after" comparisons among infants. A 2008 study in the British Journal of Urology International found that circumcision does not reduce sexual satisfaction or performance among men circumcised as adults, although a smaller study in the same journal in 2007 found a decrease in masturbatory pleasure and sexual enjoyment.

Kansas council member revealed to be a registered sex offender
An Edwardsville City Council member is a registered sex offender in Wisconsin, according to information revealed this week.
But Councilman Patrick Isenhour said his 1992 criminal conviction for having sex with a minor was a mistake he made as a young man that should have no bearing on how he does his job today. And although Isenhour was not planning to run for re-election when his second term comes to an end, he now says he will run because of the revelations made this week.
Isenhour, 38, was convicted in January 1992 in Waukesha County, Wis., of second-degree sexual assault of a child. He didn't serve any jail time for the conviction, but he was placed in a work-release program for six months and served two years' probation.
On Thursday, Isenhour told the Kansan the conviction was the result of a consensual act between him and a 15-year-old girl who told him she was 18 or 19. At the time, Isenhour was 21.
"When I was younger, I lived in Wisconsin," Isenhour said. "I worked at a gas station, and there was a girl who came to the gas station every day. I assumed, and she told me, she was 18 or 19."
One day, Isenhour said, "She invited me to her house while her parents were out of town."
Isenhour said the girl's mother found out about the incident and pressed charges; Isenhour didn't know the girl was underage until he was charged.
Isenhour's criminal history came to light Wednesday when an Edwardsville resident called the Edwardsville Police Department about Isenhour's status. The police department then contacted Mayor William "Heinz" Rodgers, who consulted with city attorneys.
"I have confirmed with legal counsel that there are no legal implications or anything to interfere with his ability to hold public office," Rodgers told the Kansan.
He said the city has no legal basis to ask for Isenhour's resignation, suspend him or place him on administrative leave.
Rodgers said he did not know about Isenhour's history until the police department informed him Wednesday evening. Although he said Isenhour was certainly not legally required to resign, he would not say whether he felt Isenhour should resign.
"As the mayor of the city of Edwardsville, I have no comment," Rodgers said.
But Isenhour did not hold back from commenting during a conversation with the Kansan on Thursday. He said the revelation did not make him want to resign; in fact, he said he has a renewed vigor to hold the office and run for a third term now that the information has been made public.
"The political warfare going on in this small town is ridiculous," Isenhour said. "The people who brought this up to hurt me are not hurting me, they're hurting my wife and kids. They're hurting my 90-year-old grandmother, my 80-year-old mother, my three kids, my wife, my ex-wife; they're hurting everybody but me.
"They thought they would force me into a position where I'd resign, but that will absolutely not happen. It was a mistake that happened 15 years ago, and I think it's absolutely pathetic that people don't have anything better to do with their time."
But Isenhour may not be out of the woods -- he is only registered as a sex offender in Wisconsin, but Kansas law says he must also register in Kansas and specifically in Wyandotte County. His name could not be found on sex offender databases for either Kansas or Wyandotte County, and on Thursday, Isenhour confirmed that he was not registered in Kansas.
"When I moved back to Kansas, I contacted the KBI (Kansas Bureau of Investigation), and they said I didn't have to register here since I was registered in Wisconsin," Isenhour said. "But if that's the case, I absolutely will" register in Kansas, he said.
Eric Wood, a spokesman for the KBI, said Thursday that a sex offender who does not register in Kansas could face a "level 5 personal felony." He did not specify what the penalty for that could be -- he said it was dependent upon the judge -- but he confirmed that jail time would probably be involved.
An official with the Wyandotte County Sheriff's Department on Thursday also said any sex offender who lives or works in the county is required to register with the department.
Isenhour said his family members were all aware of his criminal past, but he felt it wasn't necessary to reveal the information to the city council or to voters.
"I absolutely thought there was no reason, because it happened so many years ago," he said. "It has no bearing on what happens today, and to me it didn't matter. I'm proud of who I am, I'm proud of who I've become, and I've had a lot of life lessons. Every life experience I've had has helped me become a better person. I just didn't think it was relevant to how I represent the city of Edwardsville."
Kansan reporter Sam Hartle contributed to this report.

My heart goes out to the women in India. They are the victim of a barbaric hindu nation, an evil culture and a pseudo civilization that is based on demeaning and trivializing women as mere objects of seyx and domestic slaves.
India: In the tribal border areas and urban areas of India women are gang-raiped as punishment for men's crimes. But honour killing is more widespread, and a renewed wave of religious extremism is targeting female politicians, human rights workers and lawyers.

India as a nation is facing a new problem concerning its children- emergence of children as soldiers in strife -torn states of Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, AndhraPradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Nagaland and Assam. They are getting drawn into fighting both with rebel groups as well as security forces. What was considered a problem in African countries of Sudan, Sierra Leone and other countries like Sri Lanka and Nepal has become a reality for India too.
Donald Trump will fix these illegal people from Asian countries particularly the raipists from India. White Power.

The Taliban and other terrorist groups sponsored by India are secret agents, proxies, irregular forces of India.
The Taliban don't wear Indian military uniform of course, because that would give the game away, even to the fools who run NATO, the Pentagon, the MOD etc.

There are 27 different color combos. I'll show you just a few. This is Vacation Day.
You really should go here and take a look at them all yourself. There are so many possibilities for this concept. Contrasting heels and toes on socks. How about cuffs and thumbs on mittens? Or maybe a shawl with coordinating edging like Breath of Fresh Air? There's always ears and eyes for someone like Irving the Icebox Monster. Really, it would work for anything where you wanted a little extra pop.
Which color do you like the best? I think I'm feeling the Tickety Boo love today. What do you say we give one away? Just leave a comment letting me know which one you like the best. Extra points for suggesting a pattern. I'll pick a winner on Thursday at noon.

CNN's Anderson Cooper examines how Syracuse has managed sex abuse allegations against Bernie Fine.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: Keeping Them Honest
City of Syracuse and Syracuse University, two different entities. Not clear at the beginning of this story.
On the other hand, what about ESPN and Post Journal in Syracuse, thay had the evidence since 2002!! Did they cover up?
Thus morning's edition [ 11.30.2011 ] of the NY Daily News boldly asserts their investigation of Accuser Tomaselli proved he is a liar about details of his sworn affidavit to police. It also confirms Tomaselli's father's assertion that his son was lying - is correct. A real circus of media flooding the airwaves with unsubstantiated accusations. Yellow Journalism. At least Anderson Cooper made clear the circumstances remains allegations. Tome it is interesting that 1st accuser, Mr. Davis, has admitted he "has over 100 hours of taped conversations with Bernie Fine's wife." A member of Bernie Fine's family told another reporter, Mr. Davis insisted his debt of $4000 be forgiven, or else." hmmm. Syracuse University twice before hired outside law firms to investigate the allegations and nothing was ever corroborated to a legal standard of proving guilt. This situation is a mess.
It might help if the accusers could get their stories straight and the reporters double checked the facts before reporting. From the NY Daily News: "The third accuser, 23-year-old Zach Tomaselli said in a sworn statement to Syracuse police that he rode the team bus from Syracuse to a game in Pittsburgh in 2002 and was molested by Fine in the team hotel when he was just 13 years old. But the Daily News checked the schedule for that season and discovered the team did not take a bus to Pittsburgh, but instead flew to Pittsburgh after a road game in Tennessee."
Anderson Cooper goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news. Tune in weeknights at 8 and 10 ET on CNN.

Danny Bonaduce
Life Path Number 9
Danny Bonaduce is an American radio/television personality, comedian, professional wrestler, and former child actor who became famous in the 1970s as Danny Partridge on the TV sitcom The Partridge Family, and the 2005 VH1 reality show Breaking Bonaduce.
He was born on Thursday August 13th 1959, in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, United States.
Danny Bonaduce is the philanthropist, humanitarian, socially conscious, and is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which he has great compassion and idealism. Danny is a utopian, and will spend his life trying to realize some aspect of his utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world. It is in giving that Bonaduce finds much satisfaction.
Danny Bonaduce has a broad outlook on life. He tends to see the big picture, rather than the minute details. Danny naturally attracts people from all walks of life who can fit into his larger plans and take over the areas he finds uninteresting. The person with a 9 Life Path is rarely prejudiced or accepts social biases of people. Instead, they evaluate people on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. They are the true egalitarian.
Danny is imaginative and creative, especially at harmoniously arranging the beauty already potential in the environment. These abilities can lead Bonaduce into such fields as interior decorating, landscape art, and photography. But because of his strong social consciousness, Danny Bonaduce can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, and environmentalist. Vocations that require self-sacrifice and have a clear social impact are common among 9s.
He is often disappointed by the realities of life: the shortcomings of others, or of his own self's. Somehow, Danny Bonaduce does not want to accept the imperfections of the world, a feeling that drives him constantly to try to improve upon it. But rather than be satisfied with his efforts, and those of others, Danny relentlessly pushes on, striving for greater accomplishments. He is often unsatisfied with the results. In short, Bonaduce lacks the perspective that would otherwise make it possible for him to enjoy life more fully, and accept its natural limitations.
Danny Bonaduce has a controlled enthusiasm and the ability to finish what he starts.
A key to Danny's personality is the necessity of sacrifice. Danny has to learn to let go of material possessions and relationships, the inherent lesson being that holding on too tightly to anything causes pain.
Money comes to Danny Bonaduce through mysterious or unexpected ways: inheritance; the benevolence of someone who was inspired by Bonaduce's work; or a lucky investment. Conversely, if Danny pursues money for its own sake, after giving up on his larger dreams, he is likely to find himself empty handed.
The most successful and satisfying road for a nine is giving; sharing and sacrificing for a larger goal, without expecting anything in return. Danny's greatest chance at success is to tie his personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others. Very often, this turns into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply for Danny Bonaduce and his family. His life rests on the axiom that the more he gives, the bigger his reward.
Danny Bonaduce is romantic, but his love is more impersonal. He tends to be focused on his dreams instead.
When Danny is not in harmony with his true nature, he can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. He can become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for his troubles on others or the world. Bonaduce has a gift for examining his life objectively, and at some distance. He has to be honest with himself. By openly facing his shortcomings, as well as his strengths, he develops equilibrium. Danny Bonaduce is thus able to love and better understand himself and all of life.
You and Danny
About Danny's Life Path number
If ever there was a single moment of total transformation, it was actually the moment of Danny Bonaduce's birth. In that instant, Danny stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life. The most critical number in Bonaduce's numerology chart is based on the date of his birth - the moment when the curtain went up in Danny Bonaduce's life.

Amy Gehrt: Sammy Sosa's Hall of Fame bid should be a home run
I'm a Chicago Cubs fan — and not one of those fair-weather, bandwagon-jumping fans, either, mind you. I'm the die-hard, bleeds-Cubbie-blue type, and I have been practically since birth.
As such, I have rooted on my beloved North Siders during the good, the bad ... and, yes, even the downright disastrous. Through it all, my loyalty has remained steadfast. To me, that's a big part of being a Cubs fan. After all, rooting for a winning team is easy. Sticking with a ball club referred to as the Loveable Losers — often in snide, derisive tones — is far more challenging ... although I would argue that it also makes the victories that much sweeter.
But in the mid-'90s, the Cubs weren't the only ones who were struggling. Baseball itself was, too, in the wake of a bitter 232-day strike that forced the cancellation of the '94 World Series and drove disillusioned fans away in droves. The 1995 season was able to get into full swing, but many fans were not ready to forgive and forget. Attendance plunged by more than 20 percent as once-faithful followers decried the rampant greed ruining the sport.
Then something happened that changed everything: the home run chase between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. The excitement that contest generated drove ticket sales and reignited interest in the national pastime, attracting new fans and old alike. Nowhere was that impact felt more strongly than in Chicago.
By the end of 1998, Slammin' Sammy had belted 66 home runs, breaking the single-season record held by Roger Maris. McGwire ended up with 70, but Sosa, who had more RBIs and stolen bases, was honored with the 1998 NL MVP award. The reason was simple. McGwire may have tallied a few more homers that year, but Sosa was the true star of the show.
The slugger was charismatic; his infectious smile, his home-run hop, and the kisses he blew to the camera after a towering blast were all part of a bigger-than-life personality that was hard to resist. Yes, breaking Maris' record would have been headline-worthy regardless, but the energy is what the ever-growing crowds really responded to — and that was all Sosa.
One would think that alone would cement Sosa's legacy, but Slammin' Sammy followed it up with two additional seasons of 60 or more home runs — making him the only player in history to have ever done so. And in 2007, he belted home run No. 600 — becoming one of only eight major league players to achieve that feat.
Yet when the Hall of Fame ballot was released Nov. 28, with Sosa's name appearing on it for the first time, those accomplishments weren't given much attention in the reports. Instead, coverage mostly centered around the fact that Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were all first-timers on the Hall ballot, and they — like holdovers Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmeiro — would all almost assuredly win induction were it not for allegations of performance-enhancing drug use.
I may be in the minority here, but I have never believed the steroid allegations against Sosa. The evidence just isn't there. Steroid users spend lots of time on the disabled list. Sosa did not. Sammy also didn't exhibit other telltale signs of steroid use: lots of acne and an explosive temper. Yes, he bulked up, but he also was known to spend long hours in the gym. That, combined with his admitted use of creatine — a legal supplement — could easily account for his more muscular frame.
However, even if he did use steroids, he wouldn't be alone. You'd be hard-pressed to find many baseball superstars during the so-called "Steroid Era" who haven't been the subject of such speculation. Should the mere suggestion of steroid use keep every one of them out of Cooperstown, where mementos of their achievements are already on display? Doing so would be a big disconnect with Major League Baseball, which has made no move to remove even admitted steroid users from its record books.
"I think you have to judge people for the era they were in," said former Cubs GM Jim Hendry in 2005. "Unless all the facts are in, speculation is a waste of time. You'll never be able to go back and figure out who did what for sure. I'm not condoning it at all. As long as there is competitive athletics and people can get away with things, they'll try to get a competitive edge."
Hendry makes a good point. There is no denying that at least some players used performance-enhancing substances, but we'll never be able to say with any certainty exactly who juiced and who didn't. Rather than burying our heads in the sand and penalizing players based on possible behavior, we need to acknowledge that the Steroid Era — and all of the baggage that comes with it — is part of baseball history. And isn't commemorating baseball history exactly what the Hall of Fame is supposed to do?

My Discouraging Visit to CostcoA new Costco recently opened near my home and I--with family in tow--had to inspect its huge aisles chock-a-block full of megasize detergent containers and diapers by the ton. While the kids were distracted by the toys and free food samples, my attention turned to the appliances. All the big ones were present: refrigerators, clothes washers, dishwashers, microwaves, and many others. There were only a few models of each appliance, and all were the house label (though manufactured by Whirlpool or another company). The prices were seductively low, and it was hard to restrain the urge to buy. So much money to save!
But then I started inspecting the EnergyGuide labels on the display models (which, I'm happy to report, were almost always present), and a different picture emerged. Almost without fail, these models had the worst possible energy rating. The EnergyGuide arrow was typically pinned to the highest edge of the scale--or even off the scale! In other words, virtually every appliance sold in the store was a guzzler. Costco is by no means alone; I have observed the same situation in Home Depot.
Fortunately, other large chains (Circuit City and Sears, for example) offer a whole range of models with varying efficiencies, so that consumers can make the mental trade-offs among price, energy efficiency, and features. There are even Energy Star endorsements to guide consumers to the most efficient units. But at this Costco, consumers don't even have the opportunity to survey the range of efficiencies. Millions of consumers are buying these appliances without realizing that the seductive low prices are locking them in to years of higher utility bills.
One argument goes that higher efficiency won't sell. Maytag punctured this myth by developing and marketing a wildly successful horizontal-axis washing machine that cost much more than traditional designs. The secret to Maytag's success was a combination of good design, clever marketing, and consumer information. There's no reason that Costco (or any other retailer) can't do the same.
Energy experts sometimes wonder why EnergyGuide labels don't have much influence on the buying habits of American consumers (although consumers in other countries apparently do look at labels)*. I think my discouraging visit to Costco provides one important explanation.

This probably isn't news to anyone reading Ars Technica, but video gaming, once a niche pursuit, is now completely in the mainstream. What better recognition of that fact than an exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, here in Washington, DC. As Ars' local correspondent and sometime museum reviewer, I braved the crowds and went to check out how one of the nation's premiere art museums dealt with our digital pastime.
The exhibition actually opened a couple of weeks ago, with a series of events, panels, and lectures. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to most of these, although I did manage to attend a screening of Tron in the museum's stunning Robert and Arlene Kogod Courtyard, which paired the movie with glow necklaces and whimsical cocktails accented with dry ice.
Fast forward a couple of weeks (or skip through some cut scenes, if you will), to this past weekend, when I finally had time to visit the exhibit itself. Located on the third floor of the American Art Museum, it spans four decades of video games, from the Atari VCS to current consoles.
Bathed in a cool blue light, the exhibit greets you with a projected video featuring various luminaries of the video game design industry, recounting their experiences. The entrance is also where you'll find most of the exhibit's scant collection of game concept art, which I would have liked to see a lot more of.
There was also an interesting five-panel display comparing the evolution of game elements like jumping, flying, running and landscapes across the decades:
The exhibition also featured a handful of games that you could actually play for a few minutes at a time, from early favorites like Pac-Man and Super Mario Bros. to more modern fare like Flower:
The bulk of the exhibit consisted of displays of gaming platforms from the early days of the Atari VCS and Commodre 64 through the 8-bit and 16-bit console wars all the way up to today, Each system was accompanied by a series of backlit stills from iconic games chosen by Internet voting, and a small video monitor that showed examples of the games in action:
The exhibit has already come under some criticism for its game selection and presentation, and I think that criticism is unfortunately well-founded. Given the setting, I expected to see many more artifacts of game development, especially concept art. The security guards' insistence that visitors travel strictly in one direction through the exhibit also seemed quite at odds with my growing experience of museum exhibit design (thanks to a rather cool project at my day job). Ironically, some of the most interesting content is best enjoyed from the comfort of your internet connection, such as the developer interviews hosted on the exhibit's webpage.
The exhibit runs at the American Art Museum until October 2012, when it sets off on a 10-stop, nationwide tour that runs until the end of January, 2016.

Actor Taye Diggs captures burglary suspect
Staff Writer
Columbus Monthly
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police say actor Taye Diggs chased down and captured a burglary suspect he found rummaging through his garage.
It happened after the "Private Practice" star and his wife returned to their Studio City home from the Screen Actors Guild Awards, where Diggs was a presenter.
LAPD spokesman Richard French says shortly before 11:30 p.m. Sunday, Diggs saw a man in his garage, apparently looking for items to steal.
French says the man ran off, but Diggs followed him down the street and held him for police. Neither man was hurt.
Twenty-year-old Hassan Juma was arrested and remains jailed Monday on $50,000 bail.

Congratulations on the college acceptance in Boston, that's so exciting! And those cookies are oh-so pretty! I'm basically in love with them :) But I'm sure if I tried to make them they wouldn't turn out near as good.
You finallyyyy posted these! I recognize the last picture :P
And it doesn't sound like you to honk at strangers boys! ;)
Congratulations on graduating! I hope it cleared up in time for the ceremony.
Dear Elissa –
I just stumbled across your blog, looking for a recipe for a cake I could take to Yosemite for my dad's birthday that would be better a couple days after baking. As I read down your post I was stunned to see that you were a teenager. Not to be ageist, but I have lived quite a bit longer than you, and your writing voice – and baking knowledge – display so much wisdom. I am so moved by your writing, your passion for baking, and what you write about your family. I also have (had, she sadly passed) a Chinese mom and a dad who once baked (these checkerboard cookies were ones we did at Christmas from Dr. Oetker's cookbook). I now have a 3 year old and I hope he will turn out like you – someone who grows up amidst much love and warmth in the kitchen and someone with talent and passion. I am really, really impressed and inspired by you. Best of luck with your move East.
Looks like you may be going to Emerson! I'm an alum of that school, and can say that the best part of my education there were the extra curricular activities. Make sure you stay involved! If Emerson is where you're headed, you're definitely going to have a great time.
Girl, you are crazy-talented! These cookies sound so yummy and the presentation is precious! Love it :)
What a lovely, sweet blog post. And those checkerboard cookies look amazing :)
Simply fantastic.
Evocative and beautiful post, with cookie to match! Gorgeous!!
welcome to Boston!
Hi Elissa & readers
If I wanted to use ginger instead of cocoa how much ginger should I use? Is there anything else I could use instead of cocoa, i'm not a big fan of chocolate. Thanks!
Oh man I've been reading your blog all day whilst bored at work (yes, when everyone else is off cause of July 4th!) and been commenting like a maniac and realize you're coming here!
I know how hard it is to bake during school since I recently graduated, but I hope you will be able to still find the time to keep blogging (will you even have access to a kitchen in your dorm?!) because your blog is amazing! I was going to assume you're attending either Emerson or BU, but err on the side of Emerson since you said it's a communications school. I studied communications at BU but did have a soft spot for Emerson
P.S. If you ever need to know where to find a certain ingredient, baked good, etc. feel free to e-mail me any time!
/End post.
these are lovely. i have made something like this in the past, but mine never looked like yours. thank you!
These cookies look so yummy, will have to try them sometime.
These look fantastic!
these look amazing!
I made these two nights ago to bring to my coworkers. They did not turn out as pretty as yours, but they were delicious! I had a lot of trouble with the dough not rolling out correctly and slicing the logs – the different layers would not stick together and kept crumbling. Did you ever experience this? Any thoughts on what I could have done wrong?
Thanks for the recipe!!
Looks very delicious recipe :) Thanks for sharing
Geneviève – I had the same trouble just last night. The mix was REALLY dry. I had to add another half stick of butter just to pretend to get through it. I refrigerated it for 4 hours and could not get it to come back to a normal consistency. I may try warming it later but I think my batch is entirely dead.
Thank you so much for this post. You inspired me to come out of my baking comfort zone (of simple oatmeal and choco chip cookies) and try to bake these cookies. I was sure it would turn out a disaster, but I was thrilled when I started slicing them and saw how beautiful they were! My whole family loves them, and they really boosted my baking self-esteem :)
Your writing is, as usual, spectacular. Its amazing that you're only one year older than me, yet you're so talented both in the kitchen and in writing/journalism!
By the way, this is probably my favorite post ever. Its so beautifully written and describes a perfect weekend for me. I love how you make the little things in life sound so wonderful and it just gives me a warm and glowing feeling inside. Thanks again!

I was surprised to see how much this blog entry relates to my own life right now. I became interseted in your blog because i too share a passion for baking. I am a senior in High School and graduation is fast approaching. I am planning to attend the Art Institute of Houston in order to continue my dreams of becoming a chef and eventually owning a cafe. Your passion for baking at such and early age is remarkable! I feel the same and love the fact that baking is something I will always have and that no one can take away from me. It's how I express myself, how I make mistakes and how I improve. Thank you for sharing with us the joy that baking brings to your life, it has and will inspire many of us.
P.S: Those cookies look amazing! Wish I could try one right now…

Bombardier Publishes its Annual CSR Report, Shaping the Future of Mobility, Responsibly
May 13, 2013 /3BL Media/ - Bombardier Inc. published its 2012 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report and Report Summary, entitled Shaping the Future of Mobility, Responsibly, presenting the company's CSR activities over the past year.
"For us, 2012 was a year of great progress in the Evolution of Mobility," said Pierre Beaudoin, President and Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc. "While there were some challenges – as all members of our industry still cope with heightened economic uncertainty – it was still a year of innovation and achievements."
"We are excited about the environmental potential of our products, but also the promise they hold for communities. In this age of urbanization and globalization, we provide affordable and environmentally-efficient mobility solutions for cities – large and small – to connect to one another. This brings new opportunities and experiences to communities and businesses that may not have previously been connected to the global network," concluded Mr. Beaudoin.
In 2012, key achievements in CSR included:
- sixth consecutive year listing on both the Dow Jones Sustainability North America and World Indices, benchmark indicators of sustainability. Bombardier was also awarded Sector Leader, considered to be the company within its sector best prepared to seize the opportunities and manage risks derived from economic, environmental and social developments.
- developing the first-ever Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) in the aerospace industry to help customers understand the environmental impact of the CSeries family of aircraft, to be issued in 2014 to coincide with the aircraft's entry-into-service. Bombardier Transportation published two EPDs in 2012 for the TALENT 2 train and FLEXITY Outlook tram.
- administering the annual Employee Engagement Survey and achieving engagement scores approaching best-in-class. For the first time, the survey was aligned across all locations globally.
- increasing focus on human rights. In early 2013, Bombardier developed a formal statement that better defines how human rights are addressed and respected across the company.
- providing procurement managers across the enterprise with tools and training enabling them to complete CSR spot-checks of key suppliers, supporting compliance with the Bombardier Supplier Code of Conduct. The Code must be adhered to by all suppliers at Bombardier Aerospace and all master vendors at Bombardier Transportation (representing 80% of procurement spend) that sign contracts with Bombardier.
- achieving a 12.6% decrease in accident frequency rate and a 17.2% decrease in accident severity rate since 2011.
- achieving a 1.5% decrease in energy consumption, a 0.8% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions, a 7.2% decrease in water consumption since 2011.
- continuing to focus giving around the Bombardier 3E approach: Education, Environment and Entrepreneurship, which aligns the organization's community involvement with its core values and competencies, and updating the Donations, Sponsorships, and Employee Volunteering Policy to include program guidelines and human resources criteria for employee volunteering.
Bombardier's 2012 CSR Report has been developed in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 3.1 standards of reporting, and is self-declared GRI Application Level B. The 2012 GRI content index is available at www.csr.bombardier.com/gri
